Morphology
The meaning 'an event where works of art are displayed' is directly and compositionally derived from 'art' (creative works) + 'exhibition' (public display). This noun–noun combination follows common, cross-linguistic patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand the phrase.
Etymology
Art exhibition comes from the simple idea of putting art on show in a public place, because exhibition is a word for a public showing. Imagine a room with paintings on the walls and sculptures on stands where people walk and look, and that's why it means 'an event where works of art are displayed for public viewing'.
